Real Madrid - Atlético Madrid betting tips and odds

Though Real Madrid are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Real and the 5.00 odds given to Atlético Madrid to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

The previous round was an away game at Osasuna for Real Madrid, and the first half was a rather unimpressive showing. Things came to a head as the game progressed, however, and they more than earned the three points in a 0:2 victory.

Atletico are coming on the back of a narrow 1:0 home win against Athletic Bilbao in the previous round of the La Liga. The odds were in their favour from the get-go, though, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 2.15.

Real Madrid have managed to bag 6 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Atletico’s past two matches featured less than 2 goals. As such, going for markets such as Over 2.5 or Both Teams to Score is not recommended.

The season is quite promising for Real M. so far – with a 2nd spot in the standings, they’re still in the race for a shot at the title. They are trailing the La Liga leaders by 8 points and not all is lost at this stage of the season.

Los Rojiblancos are 18 points behind the leading table position, but getting there won’t be easy with Real Madrid in their way. Plenty of rounds left to go, though, so dramatic changes in the standings are still a possibility.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with Real because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
